Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Phase 2b: Change from baseline in Total Cognition Composite Change Sensitive Score from the NIH-TCB

The NIH Toolbox (NIH-TCB) Total Cognition Composite Change-Sensitive Score (CSS) is used to measure cognitive change over time. Higher scores indicate higher level of functioning. The scores typically span across the developmental range, often extending well above and below the 500-point mark depending on the age and cognitive ability of the individual.

Time frame
8 weeks
2

Phase 2b: Change from baseline in EEG resting state relative power bands during rest

Resting-state EEG relative power changes from baseline are characterized by significant shifts in power bands such as gamma, alpha, theta and beta bands

Time frame
8 weeks
3

Phase 3:Change from baseline in Total Cognition Composite score from the NIH-TCB

The NIH Toolbox (NIH-TCB) Total Cognition Composite Change-Sensitive Score (CSS) is used to measure cognitive change over time. It is calculated by combining the Crystallized Composite (reading/vocabulary) and Fluid Composite (memory/executive function/speed) scores. Higher scores indicate higher level of functioning.

Time frame
12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Phase 2b: Change from baseline in Fluid Reasoning Composite Change Sensitive Scores from the NIH-TCB

The Fluid Cognition Composite (FCC) from the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) is designed to measure changes to neurological functioning. It combines scores from five tests (Dimensional Change Card Sort, Flanker, List Sorting, Pattern Comparison, and Picture Sequence Memory) to provide a measure of executive function, memory, and processing speed. Higher scores indicate higher level of functioning. Superior ability is 130, average is approx. 100 and less than 70 is impairment.

Time frame
8 weeks
2

Phase 2b: Change from baseline in Flanker Scores from the NIH-TCB

Flanker Inhibitory control will assess inhibitory control and attention through asking participant to focus on one stimuli will not focusing on any stimuli surrounding it. A higher score indicates better performance

Time frame
8 weeks
3

Phase 2b: Incidence, nature, and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

Time frame
8 weeks
4

Phase 2b: Change from baseline in Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) throughout the study

Prospective suicidality assessment is performed using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), a questionnaire to evaluate suicidal ideation and behavior. Answer "yes" on item 4 or 5 of the Suicidal Ideation section or "yes" on any item of the Suicidal Behavior section is considered positive. Range is 2-25

Time frame
8 weeks
